C55Tech - Where are you???
Bro, go with the C55 Tech either way you go -- black or silver. I got my grill from them and happy with it - it bolts right up in 5 minutes.
The three fin just doesn't fit correctly. If you look at the bottom of the grill between the grill and bumper it leaves an uneven gap from the center outward. The C55 Tech unit is flush across.
Personally, once I put the silver grill in I fell in love with the look. Black is better on a black or white C but the silver on silver looks great live and in person.

Anyone have contact to C55 Tech or another source. Someone stole my grill today (YES STOLE MY GRILL!!) and I need a replacement ASAP.
The ones on ebay look like their missing the top portion of the mesh. The other listings, that do have the full mesh doesn't fit. The top of grill has this flat piece of plastic that doesn't align with the hood. There's a few chrome ones that look right but that's too much bling for my taste.
Please let me know if anyone knows where to get one. Thanks!

I vote for silver on silver....looks better IMO. For my black car I went with the black trimmed one (posted pics a while back) think it looks great.

Received my replacement yesterday from jakuo. Everything looks like it will fit, however, I don't see a way to mount the MB star other than using some guerrilla glue. I would think it would lock in much like the black mesh backing did but it doesn't. All there is a long stem in the center that inserts into the mesh backing.
Has anyone else ran into this problem? Super glue seems to fit in the redneck's "fix all" handbook, next to duct tape, hammer, and WD40. LOL.
I'll post pics of all the grilles on my car after I get this one installed.
